Subject: RE: BS: Religion=good folk doing bad things?
It is a bit like pulling teeth but we seem to have arrived at this - without too much quibbling.

I agree with Jerry that
There have been plenty of terrible things that have been done by organized religion.


Is this generalisation really so different or far away from - this attempt for some general agreement to enable us to move on?

"We do seem to have accepted here that organised religion is to blame for the bad things that people do because of it and in its name."

Or is only being agreed that these are terrible things but they are NOT the responsibilty of organised religion in the way that presumably they would be if these terrible things were down to some other cause?
